I might have to go back and re watch it for Dusty's commentary.
Welcome everyone to FCW! Hopefully this will be on time. We start off with a review video of last week’s post match brawl between Richie Steamboat and Husky Harris. Dusty Rhodes is back on commentary, and you know what that means. INSANE DUSTY COMMENTARY! He’s got a bicycle!
Briley Pierce & Brad Maddox vs CJ Parker & Donny Marlow
Briley and Brad are teaming up this week with Brad giving Briley another shot. Brad is dancing around like Buff Bagwell. Dusty is talking about Briley doing everything with his clothes on, and now they’re off I guess. He asks if Matt wants a hotdog. It’s gonna be hard to keep track. Quick action at the beginning with Parker getting a monkey flip on Maddox. Funky like a monkey. Brad gains the advantage on Parker and Briley Pierce tags himself in and does a wristlock. He quickly tags Maddox back in and he goes to the top for an axe handle. Parker pulls Pierce into him and Maddox smashes him. Parker goes for a quick pinfall attempt, but just a one count. Tag into Donny Marlow. Big double slam followed by a double headbutt (from a Samoan at that). Briley and Brad are doing quick tags, but Brad is the one doing most of the work. He reluctantly tags in Briley. Brad though quickly tags himself back in, just trying to do the work himself, working on the leg of Donny Marlow. Tag back into Briley who goes for a quick pin. He misses a knee drop and Marlow tags in Parker. CJ Parker does a running Finlay roll followed by a front ddt type move, and he gets the pin.
Brad Maddox not too impressed with Babyface Ziggler's performance this week.
Winners: CJ Parker & Donny Marlow
Brad Maddox is not too impressed with Briley. Though Dusty talked about their opponents from a few weeks ago being on the longest running show in history, NXT: Redemption.
Corey Graves w/Leah West vs Leakee
A very Punk Rock duo they made these two into.
Leah West is now the new valet of Corey Graves. Very punk rock looking of both people. Maybe Leah will be known for something other then piledriving herself. In a stretch for a segway, with Leah being a student of Lance Storm, another one of Lance’s students is up for rookie of the year. That being Nick Madrid. The point I want to make is Leakee is also up for rookie of the year. So many connections. Leakee goes for a headlock but Corey Graves grabs the hair to gain the advantage, but it’s all for not. Leakee starts the ground and pound on Corey. Dusty Rhodes is saying a soliloquy, according to him anyway. I think I may have to re-watch this whole thing just for the Dusty comments. Leah West gets up on the apron, and Corey rakes the eyes to give himself an opening. Leakee swings wildly but misses and Corey maintains the advantage. Leakee starts to fire up but is cut off with a boot, a clothesline, and a one count. Graves with the body scissors on Leakee now. Graves hits a heart punch, doesn’t kill Leakee though, as others have been killed with that move. Graves hasn’t mastered it yet like Stan Stasiak. Dusty is wondering if we have a pause button. I do! Leakee fights back but Graves locks in an abdominal stretch. Leakee gets out and starts hitting some clotheslines, followed by a big bulldog. That gets him a near fall. Leakee yells to put ’em up and hits a flying forearm, followed by THE Samoan Drop, and that gets him the victory.
Winner: Leakee
Briley Pierce is still in his tights, interviewing Leo Kruger. Geez Briley, put some pants on while interviewing. Leo says that he’s done everything he said he would do. A boring chant from the crowd. He says he’s a walking, talking, living, breathing, main event. However, he’s interrupted by Abraham Washington. He says he wants to apologize for interrupting Kruger. He was sitting in the back eating a sandwich, and thought he heard him say he’d take on all challengers. He says he’s not just anybody, but he’s somebody special. He’s gonna knock his behind back to South Africa with Nelson Mandela. He says he’s wearing something that he wants around his waist. What Abe doesn’t realize is it’s around his shoulder. Kruger accepts this challenge. He says to Abe he’s the only true African in FCW. Oh snap! He hopes he’s used to disappointment, and next week, he’ll be bathing in his own disappointment.
I don't remember Mean Gene doing interviews without pants.
We go back to Maxine’s office. Norman Smiley says William Regal wants to be in a 6 man tonight. Maxine doesn’t see it happening at his age. Aksana comes in and talks about Richie being in a Falls is everywhere match. He says Richie deserves a Championship match. She’ll give him a match if he earns it.
We go to the ring, and Steve Kiern recognizes a breast cancer survivor, Shannon, who is having a birthday today.
Big E Langston vs Kevin Hackman
It’s shoulder block in the corner time! Matt says he has his sets sight on making it in WWE. Hackman is back from his suspension on TV. Lock up followed by some shots to Hackman’s gut. Langston tries to drill Hackman’s head in the corner but it’s blocked. Hackman misses a dropkick and Langston starts pounding. A clubbering, if you will. Langston gets a 2 count, and then he goes into a front face lock type move. Langston pounds his chest but Hackman starts making a comeback. Big sidewalk slam by Hackman and he looks to be going to the top. Savage elbow misses. Dusty says he did the splits. Big E picks up Hackman and hits him with the Big Ending, getting the victory.
Winner: Big E Langston
Looks like Kevin Hackman was not….tough enough! See what I did there. Big surprise as there were no shoulder blocks in the corner from Big E. James Bronson comes out to the ring to stare at him. They smirk at each other, and Bronson is going into the ring. He starts attacking Kevin Hackman, giving him some crossfaces, followed by the death wish arm lock. The refs try to pull him off but they’re having a hard time with him. He’s throwing some of the referees around trying to get at Hackman. Up next, 6 man tag and one team has a mystery partner.
Damien Sandow, Dean Ambrose and Antonio Cesaro vs Seth Rollins, Johnny Curtis and Derrick Bateman
An FCW heel dream team
What a team the heels have, all three of these guys are more talented then a good chunk of the current WWE roster. Cesaro is wearing his BDK vest. Rollins and Curtis come out next with no partner. Dusty Rhodes is thinking Steven Regal. It’s Derrick Bateman. Maxine’s fiancee. Curtis and Bateman were former Tag Team Champions together. Will be interesting as last week Cesaro talked bad about Ambrose as well. Antonio Cesaro and Johnny Curtis rub the ropes and start the match. Nice take down by Curtis, keeping on the arm. Tag into Rollins and Cesaro runs to the outside. Cesaro tags into Ambrose, who has some black tape on his shoulder. Rollins gains the advantage at the beginning as they tag to Derrick Bateman. The tape on Ambrose’s arm was from his match with Regal a few weeks ago. Tag into Curtis but Ambrose pushes him into the heel corner. He makes a tag to Sandow who distracts the ref and the heels start going to work on Curtis in the corner.
Quick tags in and out from all three men, as well as distracting the ref. Curtis hits a few European uppercuts on Cesaro, but Cesaro knocks him down with a VERY European uppercut. Cesaro boots Rollins off the apron, but the distraction leads to the Johnny Kick. Cearo tags in Ambrose, and Curtis tags in Bateman. He’s on fire. Ambrose backdropped to the outside and Cesaro hiptossed into the ring. He eats a springboard clothesline from Rollins. Bateman throws him out and Rollins hits a suicide dive on Cesaro. They fight on the floor and Johnny Curtis hits a front flip. Bateman goes to continue the indy pile up, but Ambrose in with a clothesline. Ambrose looks to set up for the Midnight Special, and Dusty starts singing Midnight Special. Ambrose though hits a knee trembler on Bateman. He starts mocking Regal and locks in the Regal Stretch. Bateman taps.
Winners: Dean Ambrose, Damien Sandow and Antonio Cesaro.
Big time statement from Dean Ambrose. Ambrose looks down on his damaged arm as he sits on the corner.
Falls Count Anywhere
Richie Steamboat vs Husky Harris
Steamboat is trying to be more heelish, even attempting to grow a beard. Does he have a grey beard? How old is Richie? He was a baby when Ricky carried him around. Lock up at the start and the brawling around the ring begins pretty quickly. Richie choking Husky in the ropes, no 5 count for a DQ in this match. Harris hits a big clothesline and gets a one count. Richie fighting back with some chops and knees in the corner. Both men trade fists and Harris whips him into the ropes and hits an avalanche. Richie tossed outside the ring. He’s shoved back first into the barricade, but Richie gets a kick to the face in. Richie stuffs his head between the apron. Dusty laughs at the comment, he’s got his head in there. Richie is thrown into the post and gets a 2 count. Husky tries to slam Richie’s face into the steps, but Richie blocks and puts Husky’s face in instead. Harris throws Richie into the barricade and gets yet another 2 count.
Richie with a big low blow on Husky Harris. Richie throws him outside the arena and he chokes Husky on the handrail outside the door. This looks like some loading area. Richie pushes Husky’s head against the mid rail there. Husky kicks his leg right out of his leg (Owen Hart) and regains the advantage but Steamboat gets it back by whipping him into a wall. Steamboat grabs a trashcan. Harris throws some dirt in Steamboat’s eyes. Harris starts beating him with the trashcan. Husky Harris gets the pin from that.
Winner: Husky Harris.
A truck drives by and Steamboat throws him in the back of this random truck. Husky goes into that truck and they drive off. He’s driving the black truck? Dusty might be having white hummer flashbacks.
Husky stealing Ted Dibiase's idea of having a tailgate party.
